Careful what you wish for. I’m not disagreeing, but when the powerful are fearful, it will get worse before it gets better. Could be a whole lot worse.

We got the kids tablets for long car rides too. We let them use them as a reward. PBS Kids games and Epic (books) are good compromises.

the desert to the east of San Francisco.

Lol what the fuck? I assume you are taking about California Forever but desert is a weird word to describe the Sacramento River delta. It is one of the largest estuaries in north america.

HOLY SHIT IS THAT A HEADPHONE JACK?!

Seriously this ticks boxes Ive given up on. I never thought Id see a phone with all three: waterproof, removable battery, headphone jack. It even has wireless charging which isnt really one of my boxes but is a little extra if you use it.

Ive heard good things about that comic, less so about the TV series.

A dark comedy take is Creamerie. Definitely recommend.

aka how not to be an asshole.

Watching my kids take swim lessons I am super impressed how they KNOW how to teach. They have a slow steady progression of techniques that build on eachother. Same with gymnastics. Build strength, technique and confidence. No need to terrify kids.

In a similar vein, the social emotional learning they are teaching kids is great.

I didn’t get to get a lot of comics as a kid. I got punisher because they tended to be more insular. I borrowed friends/relatives Carnage comics but never got to finish the run. I couldn’t get into fantastic 4 partly because there were so many iterations, and some of those I would get the lecture of ‘well you really gotta start here and this references this story line from 5 years ago’.

Punisher was simple action and tended to have shorter story lines.

its really not, we just have cowards who are afraid of the word regulation running the government.

You do the cheese smoking yourself?

I definitely remember hearing “Here put this helmet and [thick] jacket on”… “Stay there and wait” etc

I was the younger brother. I was “willing” to do a lot of things I knew were bad ideas.

I think he actually believes this will move manufacturing to the US. He is a moron afterall.

I was thinking rainbow face paint with interesting paterns

Masks work too though.

Is that the type they put in turon? I love those things.

Kinda makes me think of Filipino spaghetti. Banana ketchup and hotdogs! Actually not as bad as it sounds.

I am bleeding, making me the victor

To answer your question, no it is not valid. The fact that you don’t actually stand by the word offended really answers yourself.

Why choose “offended” as the verb here? I’m not saying I’ve never seeing an offensive movie… But what you described is an annoyance at most.

It’s almost as if you are claiming offense to be contrarian.

It’s not likely they would. The US did some fucked up stuff, but (in this case) didn’t try to hide it…
